And although the pair never worked together in their Guns N’ Roses years, they’d discussed the possibility earlier in their careers.

Towards the end of an interview with Nova Radio Newcastle, filmed by EzeazPi, Bumblefoot is told the camera operator is a Buckethead fan.

He says: “You don’t have to choose – you can have us both. Tell you what, he’ll play guitar, I’ll sing, then I’ll harmonise and we’ll sort it out. We’ll make something special together.

“I’ll give a shout to Mr Buckethead. Hello! We met long ago, before you joined Guns, before I joined Guns. We were going to make some music together in the late 90s. Never happened.

“But if you ever want to do it, find me. I would love to work with you. While we can – seriously, life is short.

“Right now, on the other side of the camera, they’re going, ‘Yes! Yes!’ But I would love to. Bucket, you’re a phenomenal musician and someday, if you want to make music together, I’d love to find a way to pull that off.”
